⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀”A friend stands up for a friend,” goes the cliché. ⠀⠀⠀⠀One who isn’t won’t. Your one made sure I’d not ⠀⠀⠀⠀respect you, trust you, believe any word you say. ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀Like a key suspect being questioned, who forgot ⠀⠀⠀⠀his own story, he hopes who’s fooled’ll buy any lie. ⠀⠀⠀⠀One who isn’t won’t. Your one made sure I’d not. ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀One who chooses not to live will die ⠀⠀⠀⠀three times over. By his own word he creates ⠀⠀⠀⠀his own story. He hopes who’s fooled’ll buy any lie. ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀Eventually false friendship deteriorates. ⠀⠀⠀⠀I’m sorry if I hurt you. I repent ⠀⠀⠀⠀three times over. By his own word he creates ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀his own enemies. He failed to represent ⠀⠀⠀⠀how true a friend you are. I can’t help, but ⠀⠀⠀⠀I’m sorry. If I hurt you, I repent. ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀You should’nt’ve been trashed no matter what. ⠀⠀⠀⠀”A friend stands up for a friend,” goes the cliché. ⠀⠀⠀⠀How true a friend you are! I can’t help but ⠀⠀⠀⠀respect you, trust you, believe any word you say. ⠀
